Islamabad - Former Prime Minister Imran Khan was returned to jail on Friday, following a transfer from a private hospital where he underwent court-ordered medical checks, according to the government. The Supreme Court mandated Khan's 48-hour examination at Shifa International Hospital after his legal team expressed health concerns.
Information Minister Attaullah Tarar reported that a team of doctors, including an ophthalmologist, a cardiologist, and a physician, assessed Khan and declared him medically fit. His supporters had gathered outside the hospital earlier in the day, with security personnel in place due to the large crowd. Khan's political career has been marked by multiple legal cases, primarily corruption charges, which he and his party blame on political motives. His next court appearance is set for September 16.
